United States international Jenna Nighswonger looks to be finally set for some regular game time after completing a loan move away from Arsenal.

It’s no secret that, despite winning the last two European Championship titles and reaching the final of the most recent Women's World Cup, England’s Lionesses lack options at left-back.

The visitors broke the deadlock in the 35th minute, with Miri Taylor firing in from the edge of the box for her first goal as a professional.
